If you were in the Navy Week Game Chat this past Saturday, you might have picked up that Murtaugh was able to hook me up with a sweet press pass for the game. It was a pretty cool experience. I got to see all the action of the game from a heated press box, I [...]

Halloween has come and gone and now we're at the point where the recruiting class of 2018 is really coming together. We'll probably see a couple of new names pop up on the board here in the next couple of months, but right now the Irish have zeroed in on their top targets and are [...]

This weekend continues to get better and better for Notre Dame Football. Not only did the Irish de-pants the USC Trojans on prime-time television last night, but now they have earned their 17th verbal commitment from the Class of 2018 -- this time from a kid mere miles from campus. Mishawaka, Indiana product Paul Moala [...]

Good morning, Irish fans! Despite the lack of consistent recruiting coverage by us over here at 18 Stripes this summer (and I do apologize for that), the Fighting Irish staff has continued to put in work all summer to land some of the best football recruits in the country. As some of you are aware, [...]

18 Stripes Recruiting coverage is making a return now that recruiting season is gaining more steam. Summer camps have started taking place across the country and Irish commits and targets are competing with some of the best high school athletes this country has to offer. Today we're bringing back the Big Board, starting with the [...]

Notre Dame continues a strong week of 2018 recruiting as offensive tackle Cole Mabry out of Brentwood, Tennessee has committed to the Fighting Irish. Cole is one of the most recent offers sent out by the Fighting Irish staff. He just received his offer this past weekend during his visit for Junior Day. Obviously a [...]

National Signing Day 2018 is approximately eleven-and-a-half months away. It's much too far away for anyone to have a clear idea how Notre Dame's Class of 2018 will turn out. Which makes it the perfect time for me to throw out a prediction just for the hell of it. Here's a list of Irish targets [...]

National Signing Day has gone very well for Notre Dame so far, as the Irish have added another commitment from defensive end Kofi Wardlow out of Washington, DC. Kofi had been a Maryland commit for about a month before adding his Notre Dame offer just a few weeks ago. He immediately expressed interest, calling it [...]

Notre Dame football has continued its strong Signing Day run as Hampton, Virginia athlete Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah has committed tot he Fighting Irish. Jeremiah was another late target by the staff, earning his offer just a couple of weeks ago. At the time, he was committed to Virginia. But after an official visit to Michigan State [...]

National Signing Day has started off with a bang for Notre Dame, as defensive lineman Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa out of Kapolei, Hawaii has committed to the Fighting Irish. The Irish offered Myron just under a month ago, and he quickly became the #1 priority for new special teams coordinator Brian Polian (who, by the way, did [...]

Notre Dame's continued efforts to close out the Class of 2017 strong just received another nice boost as kicker Jonathan Doerer from Charlotte, North Carolina has announced his commitment to the Fighting Irish. Jonathan was a surprise visitor this weekend for Notre Dame. Heading into the visit, the 6-3/190 pounder was committed to Maryland. This [...]

Notre Dame recently made some more progress in their efforts to close out the Class of 2017 strong, as wide receiver Jafar Armstrong has announced his commitment to the Irish. Jafar just took an official visit to Notre Dame this weekend, and the Notre Dame staff absolutely knocked this one out of the park. The [...]

National Signing Day is less than a week away, and Notre Dame is still in scramble mode trying to fill out some of the holes still left in their recruiting class of 2017. The Irish had a handful of prospects on campus last week, but they've yet to receive a commitment from that group of [...]

With National Signing Day now less than two weeks away and the Irish scrambling to fill the wholes still left in this class, these next couple of weekends will prove to be very important for last-minute visits. With that in mind, in lieu of Big Board updates these next couple of recruiting updates will be [...]
